Hot Flashes & Hexes · Book 4
Sparks & Sticky Notes
She fixed everything—except her own life. Now her hot flashes are fixing things on their own. Badly.
Gemma Hartley has spent her entire life being the person everyone calls. Leaky faucet? She's there. Marriage falling apart? She'll mediate. Career crisis? She has a color-coded sticky note system for that.
Then her husband left her for his life coach, her company "restructured" her out of a job, and her mother moved in. Temporarily. Three months ago.
Now she's in Fairhaven, renovating a fixer-upper cottage because she saw it online at 2 AM after her fourth panic attack of the week. Fresh start. New project. Same compulsive need to make everything perfect.
Except her hot flashes have started making things fix themselves. Wrong. The broken lamp now floats. The leaky sink dispenses wine. And the grumpy artist next door? The one with the forearms and the deliberately broken sculptures? She just "repaired" three months of his work into smooth, meaningless spheres.
He is not amused.
Gemma doesn't need a sculptor who thinks broken things are beautiful. She needs a plan, a label maker, and possibly an exorcist.
Too bad the magic has other ideas. And so does her cat.

Five-star reviews of the series opener
Whispers from the readers
★★★★★
Hot flashes weren't funny until now.
“This is a wonderfully entertaining closed door romantic comedy with a newly minted witch, an opinionated cat, a talking toaster who only speaks French, a house that develops its own personality, and a hard won happily ever after. I laughed until my sides hurt.”
★★★★★
Cassie is such a realistic heroine!
“We need more fantasy romance about middle aged women! I'm sick of teenage heroines. Love the forced proximity and the development of Cassie and Liam's chemistry. Liam is a gem!”
★★★★★
Read the whole series
“This gem of a series gets better as it goes. Each is short and well worth the time. Romance off the pages, clean, and light-hearted but with a profound message.”
